Let's divide 16993 by 6
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 16993.

Moving on to step 1:
6 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 6

On to step 2:
16 divided by 6 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 12 from 16 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 6

Let's proceed to step 3:
6 goes into 49 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 48 from 49 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 6

On to step 4:
When dividing 19 by 6, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 283.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 6

Step 5:
When dividing 13 by 6, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2832.0
Subtract 12 from 13 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
10 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2832.1
If we take 6 away from 10, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
6 can be fit into 40 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2832.16
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 6 fits into 40 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2832.166
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 2832.166 with a remainder of 0.0004.
